In August 2010 three Maidenhead United fans were banned from attending home games, by a kangaroo court, for crimes they didn't commit.These men promptly encountered a jobsworth security blockade, and so escaped to the non-league underground.Today, still stigmatised by the MUFC Ltd hierarchy, they survive as supporters of fancy.If you enjoy a train away day - and if you can find them - then maybe you can share a drink with ... the K-team!

Shagging for the Magpies!

In a neat turn of phrase from the old Shagging Magpies fanzine, we noticed this interesting initiative from Spanish top flight side, Getafe CF -

The club, who are likely to forever live in the shadow of Real and Atletico Madrid, have suggested that the obvious way of increasing their fan base is to get reproducing more of them!

"There's a problem: there aren't many of us."

Maidenhead United is rightly proud of the fact that attendances have been rising, although they're still pitifully low for the size of the town and tradition of the club.

So. There you have it. Get at it...

GMOSC actually suggested this highly unusual supporter initiative to the club. However, rumours that this is just a load of old toss were strenuously denied by club officials. One, who asked to remain unnamed but who looked suspiciously like former snooker star Willie Thorne, even whispered that there were enough w@nkers at the club already.
